Eternal Darkness on Gamecube was a pretty big one right? Also due to it's IP hell I don't think there will ever be another game like it.
If you're ok with GameCube era, then Eternal Darkness: Sanity's Requiem is one of my fav games. I don't like horror, but this one is the exception. It's Cthulu-based. You play a different characters recounting their fight against elder gods. There is the standard HP and mana bar, but there's also a sanity bar. That one is fun when it runs out.
Honestly, I think a lot of people have hit the big ones already. Not being much of a horror gamer myself, I would throw Metroid Fusion into the mix as a sci-fi horror game. There's also a horror jankfest called Martian Gothic, which is on PC & PS1, which is interesting for the multiple characters working together through the game - but if they meet, game over - it's by the same team as Dreamweb. There's also Deep Fear for Sega Saturn, which is basically Sega doing Resident Evil, but underwater - I've only ever seen LPs of it, but it looks like fun - I don't know if you need a translation patch. You could try another contemporary game, Fatal Frame, which I played a demo of, where you use a camera to fend off ghosts.
Metroid fusion as a horror game? I'm unfamiliar with fusion... where is the horror tag coming from?
Samus is alone on a space station full of X Parasites, a thing that nearly killed her (and later you'll find out some other stuff about them). She had to have her power suit surgically removed from her body, and her appearance was radically changed. When you go aboard the station, you hope to find survivors - in vain, of course. And through it all, the only "friendly" voice you have is a computer which Samus named Adam, after Adam Malkovich, her former CO.
You're alone. You're trapped with things that very definitely want to kill you, and I don't mean like the Metroids that just want to eat and grow. The X want Samus dead, personally.
Sure, it's a colorful GBA game built on the same engine as Wario Land 4. That doesn't take away the horror when some of the plot beats hit.
Silent Hill, Galerians, Resident Evil, Dino Crisis, Parasit Eve, Koudelka
Dino crisis sounds fun
Corpse Party (the original one) has both a PC and DS version. I thought it was really good.
Rule of Rose is a pretty interesting PS2 survival horror game.
I tried playing it in a pc emulator but the controls with kbm were...janky. Maybe steam deck will be of help.
It is a bit janky by itself. It's one of those survival horrors like Silent Hill that don't want to let you be too combat capable.
Parasite Eve on the PS1. Absolute masterpiece from Squaresoft.
